Application

Glyceryl triheptadecanoate has been used:
  • as an external standard in gas chromatography (GC) analysis for soybean seeds lipid extraction
  • as an internal standard solution to correct the transesterification efficiency during lipid analysis by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID)
  • as an internal standard in chloroform to dissolve total lipids obtained from fresh leaves of N. benthamiana for thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis and to analyze their fatty acid content using GC

Acetic acid can be generated through syngas fermentation, lignocellulosic biomass degradation, and organic waste anaerobic digestion. Microbial conversion of acetate into triacylglycerols for biofuel production has many advantages, including low-cost or even negative-cost feedstock and environmental benefits. The main issue

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), like most dicotyledonous plants, expresses a multicomponent, heteromeric acetyl-CoA carboxylase (htACCase), which catalyzes the generation of the malonyl-CoA precursor of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis. This enzyme consists of four catalytic subunits: biotin carboxylase (BC), carboxyltransferase (CT)-α
